Episode 8 is going to release very soon. Although we don't have a lot of information of the episode, we can still theorize what will happen.
And this actually what we're going discuss in this chapter.
----------
As I was replaying the post-season of MCSM, I noticed something...
All of the exit portals are hidden underground. Think about it.
Sky City's exit portal, buried underground.
Two moon land's exit portal, located underground. And I don't think Cassie would possibly break the portal and rebuild it in the cave because she would've just broke it.
You may say she could've just put the blocks in the way it was but I don't think rebuilding a portal is that simple. If not why would PAMA need to clip Harper in order to learn how to build an exit portal?
Anyway, PAMA land's exit portal, destroyed by Harper, whose lab is hidden, you guessed it, UNDERGROUND.
Is there a connection?
Remember in Minecraft, when you put the nether portal in different locations, its exit portal would follow it? What if the same thing goes to MCSM?
In Episode 5, the Sky City's portal that Jesse found was located on the second story of the temple, a place above ground.
Then they teleported to Sky City, also a place above ground.
Coincidence?
So using this logic, we can theorize that the Portal Hallway is possibly located underground.
Plus, think about the architecture.

As we can see in the screen shot, the hallway is built in a cave-like fashion. Also, the lighting is pretty dim.
You can say it's for dramatic effects. But this is MCSM Theory! We don't accept explanations like this!
Think about this. Dark places usually causes a mob to spawn. The lighting and design of the hallway is very dangerous in terms of Minecraft logic. Why would they do that? Couldn't the Old Builders just add some windows to light things up?
No, they can't. Because windows are useless in underground builds.
Still not convinced?
At the end of Episode 7, the game left us with a long way upstairs.

Look closely to the screen shot and the corner above the 'P' of the word 'Spleef'? You can see a bit of sky is showing.
I think instead of leading us to the Old Builders, this is where the stairs would lead to.
Underground hallway -> upstairs -> battle arena that you could see sky. Simple.
And there are others evidence to support this. Look closely at the background of the screen shot. Dark, dim-lighted with a cave-like structure decorated with blocks of ore on the walls.
I also believe that in Episode 7, when Petra said "Funny. Whenever someone says that my instants start screaming 'danger'." It was foreshadowing something.
Back to the screen shot. If you see closer at the background characters, they are wearing different colored outfits with helmets.
And look at the block they're stepping on. Snow.
Do you think they're playing Spleef in teams?
Perhaps they're fighting for something?
Something like the Atlas?
We don't know. But we believe all of our questions will be answered in episode 8...
